Could anyone describe, or better still post a photo, of what the mount rubber looks like that goes between the two bolts on the bottom of the radiator and the engine/radiator casting bracket please.

S&V don't have stock and I have no idea if it's a make-able part.

Also S&V state the quantity as 2/4.
What determines how many are needed?

Thanks
Paul.

Photo later, but they are simply 2 rubber rings about 2 inches in diameter with about a 1/2" hole in the middle. One or more on each stud. Some people put one above and one below the radiator mount casting. The number really depends on the height the radiator needs to be to align the bonnet. The people that put one below the casting seem to feel it adds to the flexibility/shock mounting.

The thickness of the rubbers will be determined by the fit at the point of where the bottom rear corner on the bonnet side panels meets the bulkhead

Make sure the studs in the bottom of your radiator are long enough to accommodate whatever thickness of rubber and steel washers you use. This problem caught me out as I could only get a couple of turns of thread with the nuts underneath. Now thinking about lengthening the studs......
